In 1824 Noah and Nancy Tevis settled on the west bank of Neches River and organized a farm. Soon after that, a small community grew up around the farm, which was named Tevis Bluff or Neches River Settlement. In 1835 the land of Tevises together with nearby community of Santa Anna (in total, 50 acres or 200,000 m2) was purchased by Henry Millard (1796?–1844), Joseph P. Pulsifer (1805–1861) and Thomas B. Huling (1804–1865), who began planning a town to be laid out on this land. This town was named Beaumont, after Jefferson Beaumont the brother in law of Henry Millard.

Plot: Lost is a short film from Boomarang Entertainment in which a guy (Beaumont) returning to Los Angeles from touring Europe struggles to reconnect to his home life. Frustrated with the various situations that happen throughout the day he begins to psychotically lash out against them before he violently finally snaps. This film is basically about how much can go wrong in a person's life all at once. It starts out with his luggage being lost, and then ultimately ends up with every good thing in his life being lost as well. The film itself is interspersed with quick edits of what he's actually thinking rather than what he's saying, which gives an interesting insight into the character. The film itself is just a short, but manages to tell the story quite well. While there are a few amusing aspects to the film, it's mostly a serious story and leaves you really kind of feeling for the guy whose life has just spiraled out of control through no fault of his own.

Plot: Chubunka is the self-made head of the rackets in the sleazy boardwalk community of Neptune City, a low-rent version of Coney Island. He has become infatuated with a sultry nightclub chanteuse and lavishes her with gifts and attention, spending money on her that might better go to maintaining his hold on his operation. His obsession with her, as well as his pride, clouds his judgment as Cornell, a much more ruthless hoodlum, moves in on Chubunka's territory, bribes and threatens his associates, and compromises his operation. As if in a Greek tragedy, the petty gangster's weaknesses conspire to cause his downfall.
